Leave the urban excitement of Barcelona behind. Sofitel Barcelona Skipper is a welcoming verdant oasis that exudes elegance at the gateway to the city’s Gothic Quarter. Once you’re through the doors, the bustle of this vibrant city disappears and La Vida Chic takes over.

Each room and suite at Sofitel Barcelona Skipper is an ode to French elegance and local luxury; a private Parisian apartment by the sea in Barcelona. Views feature green gardens, cityscapes or the swimming pool leading down to the beach and the scintillating horizon beyond.

Tapas take an innovative turn at TENDIEZ restaurant & bar. Inspired by local artists and created from fresh, locally sourced ingredients by talented chefs, these attractive snacks are meant to be shared in the cheerful dining room or outdoors on the poolside patio.

ElCielo rooftop bar is the place to be at sundown for romantic drinks with magnificent views over the Mediterranean.

The following morning, Syrah restaurant lets you wake up gently in its garden with your breakfast of choice.

Not one, but two idyllic swimming pools to choose from. One features lofty views of the Mediterranean and Barcelona from the rooftop. The other is a short sandy skip from the beach at ground level in the peaceful courtyard.
